Now this something worth protesting about. Maybe even an embassy deserves to be burned! This student had to pay extra for a visa because his name was Mohammed! Maybe someone should tell the US that a lot of nasty people shared the name George including kings who oppressed the American colonists. pat ... read full story / add a comment

I cut and paste this piece from the Irish Times because I found it extremely alarming. Tax cuts fuel the capitalist system - producing a larger bourgeoise capitalists class - I don't need to mention the effect the SSIA's will have on economic growth once they reach fruition. Economic growth in this country has to be stopped - it has destroyed the power of public sector unions created material wealth at the expense of spiritual decay and attracted legions of brain washed "consumer-voters" who worship at the PD/ Fianna Fail facist capitalist altar. We need social justice not economic growth. So heres the story: A new tax-cutting policy aimed at average middle-class families was unveiled by the Progressive Democrats at the conclusion of the party's national conference in Limerick yesterday. Attacks on the Labour Party over tax, immigration and health dominated much of the conference debate. Stephen Collins and Liam Reid report ... read full story / add a comment

Graffiti artist Marc Ecko broke into a government facility where one of the Boeing 747 planes which serve as Air Force One was parked, and tagged it with graffiti. Ecko then posted video of the tagging online, along with a video statement of “why I tagged the President’s plane.” - Or so he says. As it turns out, the video is fake. ... read full story / add a comment

The use of Shannon Airport as a gateway for U.S. troops en route to the war in Iraq is an affront to the wishes of the vast majority of the Irish people who have consistently opposed the war, said the former Mayor of Sligo, Alderman Declan Bree, when he spoke at the Connolly Forums annual Easter 1916 Commemoration Ceremony in Sligo on Easter Sunday ... read full story / add a comment

Concern that the Garda Reserve Force is now almost certain to be established were expressed today. Senior gardaí yesterday backed plans for a reserve force. Publicly announcing support for the Minister for Justice’s proposals for the first time, the Association of Garda Superintendents said the move would put more visible presence on the streets. President of the AGS, Superintendent Noel McLoughlin, said the scheme, which is widely opposed by rank-and-file members of the force, would enhance their capacity to respond to emergency calls. However veteran homeless campaigner Fr Peter McVerry has said the plans are "madness" see today's Daily Ireland. http://dailyireland.televisual.co.uk/home.tvt?_scope=Da...opp=1 ... read full story / add a comment

The meeting around the question: “Can Coalition With Parties of the Right Bring Real Change?” defines the CIL as an opportunist, electoralist front, attempting to reinvent labourism at a time when the Labour party may finally be committing suicide. In their attempts at pragmatism and realism they are adopting a fantasy scenario, a thousand times more unrealistic than any principled attempt to win Irish workers to revolution. ... read full story / add a comment
